That I might not sin against thee

Reading the Word of God is to be a constant. It's easy to neglect this act of worship in the hustle and bustle of our media saturated world. When we look at the things that are constant in our lives, some of them have no value compared to the Word of God, yet we still "find" time to incorporate them into our everyday lives. We fail to pray, but do not fail to play. Why?
Our body is a constant reminder to the natural things.We need spiritual reminders. Just like it may seem children constantly need reminding of the same rule over and over, so we need reminding of the value of the Word. We need reminding to read the Word. 

This month we are going back to the roots of this blog. I all started with a Bible Reading plan that, in order to be accountable, grew into blogging our daily reading along with our personal notes. I have already begun, but invite you , Our One Message readers, to join in reading the bible everyday, and join in the discussion of the scriptures. We welcome and encourage your feedback, and questions and thoughts and opinions. This is a forum for learning and growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here is a link to the Reading plan that we are engaging in through Youversion.com

I am excited!  I will be posting as daily as possible on the day's reading. So subscribing is your best bet to keep up. We don't have to wait til the beginning of the year to start. Let's start now!

Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.- Psalm 119:11

Warmest thoughts and prayers, 
Chantel

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials,

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:

child logic: waitress vs. God

That sounds like something my 6 year old would say! Malachi 3:10-12 (King James Version) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
